Midlife reckoning (text only)

Rust is invading some of my machinery,

From always being alone I became lonely,

I long to find someone to share this moment!

My hair is thinning, I no longer do the splits,

I changed house so often I don’t have a home,

Rust is invading some of my machinery,

From always being alone I became lonely…

I used to think I could get top billing,

I was able to feel inspiration even in my bones;

When they didn’t get it, it was the fatal blow…

Rust is invading some of my machinery,

From always being alone I became lonely,

I long to find someone to share this moment.
